Topic: Not Gray Screen - But Black! (Read 2434 times)

Fresh Install with Ubuntu 6.10 updated all the way - started install of Linuxmce 1.0 packages from - cd, Appears to have done lots of DL from the net - Acutally went through the sound and vid card setup etc seems to have installed itself, Now only see a black screen on computer monitor no TV YET!!!! But i do have a cursor!

I have just done the exact same thing, seems install went through perfectly, an initial wizard popped up, to configure sound/inputs/etc but i get get a blank screen...

If I reboot, it goes to reloading the screens, and then straight to the blank screen again, with a cursor...

I can get to the web admin interface, and go through the wizard, but nothing seems to help (when i change resolutions, etc, i can see them happening on the screen) but it wont do anything but load a black blank screen with the cursor...

I have a radeon 9600SE, with latest ati drivers...it is set to dedicated, so when it boots, it tries to load linux mce straight away... and ive tried UI1, UI2 with/without blending... just keep getting the same black screen with a cursor - i can only get a cursor in UI1

Here is a BT of the DCRouter crash. This is on a fresh ubuntu system. Hardware is standard. I actually had this working last week but decided to reinstall after I started mucking around with pluto/linuxmce files and wanted a fresh system. This would leave me to believe it may be related to something thats been updated in the ubuntu repos.
